I spent almost the entire day yesterday cutting rag quilts for Sewing Camp today and tomorrow for kids at The Studio. Why did it take so long? Because I cut 16 rag quilts and pillow tops……as we have 12 students and they needed a selection from which to choose. Here’s my question: How many people do you know that have enough fabric on hand at their home to be able to cut 16 quilts and pillows? That is about 120 yards of fabric! That was a LOT of cutting. Whew!!!

We have three terrific classes coming up this week. On Friday, we will be painting “The Old Gate” in a small format that includes the frame. This will be a fun one to do and you will leave with a beautiful painting framed up and ready to hang …. or that will make a perfect Mother’s Day gift! 🙂 Click here to register for it. And then on Saturday we have the Cross Rag Quilt just in time for Easter. Register now and get the pre-class instructions. And then on Sunday we will be painting again in the Expressionist style with this terrific still life. These are sooooo much fun to do and turn out beautifully. Join us by clicking here. Click on any of the links to read more and see the full photos of each project. Hope to see you later this week.

Have you got tons of t-shirts that you love but never wear any more? If you are like me, you do! You picked them up on vacation….or they have a theme you love…and you had to have it but you just can’t wear them all. Time to repurpose those shirts into something you will use….a nice blanket or throw. Our first T-shirt Rag Quilt workshop is coming up on March 30-31. Click here for more information….Saturday we will cut and Sunday we will sew. There is one seat left in this session but you have time to gather up those shirts for the next one on Saturday, April 6th. Click here for that info. These are fun to make and you will enjoy having the memories where you can enjoy them more.

We had a great Rag Quilt class yesterday afternoon. Believe it or not they all made a quilt in just 4 hours. That’s right, 4 hours! And didn’t they make some amazing quilts. Great job everyone.

Spent the day working on a new Rag Quilt design for an upcoming class. This one had little blocks with saying on them centered on other fabric designs. Trying to find a way to make an easy quilt for people who don’t sew a lot but won’t a special quilt. Hoping to have the clipping done and a couple of washes tomorrow.

Yesterday we made Sunflower Rag Quilts at The Studio. What a beautiful project. Everyone’s looks different as they all selected their fabrics. This is a little more advanced than our beginner Rag Quilt (you can register for the next beginning rag quilt here) so you need a little experience to sew the flower. We’ll be doing it again at the first of the year. We are thinking of a daisy…either white or a pink gerber!

We had the second part of our Quilted Table Runner class last night. They are looking great! Everyone promised to send a photo of their finished products. (They took them home for binding.) I can’t wait to see them but you can get a good idea here with Amber’s. It looks beautiful and we all had a really good time working together. Great work ladies!

If you missed this class at The Studio you are going to be sorry. 🙂 Our Memorial Day and 4th of July tables are going to look so nice with our new table runners. Great work last night ladies. Can’t wait to see how they turn out next week.
